Oh, no - poor baby! I am so sorry! The vet couldn't think of trying anything else? I also found that when they don't respond to antibiotics, toxoplasmosis may be present, and it took me over 6 months, 2 yrs ago, of medicating to finally get rid of it - the kitten was negative on everything else.

They can send the fluid to a lab, but if you draw the fluid it is yellow stringy you can be pretty sure it's FIP Kathryn Hargreaves khargrea...@gmail.com wrote: Isn't it impossible to diagnose FIP?

Re: [Felvtalk] FeLV Ascites?
I wouldn't know..besides of FIP it could be heart trouble and other conditions. Sorry I can't reasure you. The vet can draw fluid and analyze it for protein content, high protein is FIP. Last year and earlier this year we lost two kittens to FIP almost a month apart. When they extracted fluid from the first one it was clear but the analysis confirmed the high protein content. So dx was FIP, later on vet found a large mass growing so concluded that he had pancreatic cancer thus the fluid_at that point was greenish_his sister also got a FIP dx, high prt fluid but more typical; yellow viscous fluid, no cancer.
